(quote)My concern is Carlos says I need to do nothing to my Cylinders, (I have about 5k on the bike)
but its always been my understanding I would at least need to hone the cylinders when installing new pistons and rings.
Also since its a Nikasel lined cylinder from the factory do I need a special diamond cut honing?
Also how can Matt Capri "hand gap the rings" without the cylinders, or is the gap independent of the cylinder wall measurements?(quote)
Nikasyl cylinder coatings are very hard. With only 5k on the engine the most you would have to do is scrub them a little with a scotch brite pad.
Matt can "hand gap" the rings on a new cylinder at his shop, you aren't changing the bore diameter so your cylinders will be the same as any factory spec. cylinders he has at his shop.
